Rihanna Abruptly Cancels GRAMMYs Performance

Rihanna has suddenly pulled out of her highly anticipated GRAMMYs performance. The S.O.S. singer was set to hit the stage at Monday’s ceremony at the Staples Center in L.A., but that was not to be.

The singer showed up at the venue, but did not walk the red carpet. She did a sound check and departed the venue.

She has reportedly been battling bronchitis and is on medication.Per the advice of doctors, she decided not to perform because it could permanently damage her vocal cords. “Based on Rihanna’s examination, after Grammy rehearsal today, Rihanna’s doctor put her on vocal rest for 48 hours because she was at risk of hemorrhaging her vocal chords,” her rep said in a statement. Despite the circumstances, she did want to perform, but reluctantly decided to listen to her doctors. She left Staples Center and went home. h/t rapup

Rihanna rehearsed twice and was slated to perform “Kiss It Better” off her platinum album ANTI.
